Good jazz or blues songs?


I recently saw the movie The Blues Brothers and i got interested in the music (ive never listened to theese genres before.)
I downloaded Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker.
I loved it. Any1 have any faster or slower with really good musicianship songs with like horns and stuff?
TY

You want smooth sounding blues with good musicianship and horns and such?

T-Bone Walker

i like careless whisper by george michaels, i think thats who sings it. it is sort of a jazz song, but i love it

Horns - Find anything with the Memphis Horns do a search.
John Lee Hooker - Burbon Scotch Beer
Buddy Guy - Damn Right I got the Blues
Muddy Waters - Hoochie Coochie Man.
Sooooooo much out there.

Here are some classic blues songs for getting into the blues, IMHO...

BB King- The Thrill Is Gone
Muddy Waters- Mannish Boy
Muddy Waters- Hoochie Coochie Man
Howlin' Wolf- Killing floor
White Stripes- Death letter blues
Jimi Hendrix- Red House
Slim Harpo- I'm a king bee
T-Bone Walker- Stormy Monday
Stevie Ray Vaughan- Pride and joy

If you liked the more big band stuff.. one song that is one of my all time favorites, which is in the movie, is Minnie the Moocher by Cab Calloway. Some others I like are..
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy- You and me and the bottle makes 3
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy- Mr. Pinstripe Suit
Brian Setzer Orchestra with Gwen Stefani- You're the boss

Hear My train a comin' by Jimi Hendrix (Electric guitar version
Moanin' at Midnight by Howlin' Wolf
Crossfire by Stevie Ray Vaughan
Catfish Blues by Muddy Waters
Death letter by the White Stripes (they coverd the orignial by Leadbelly)

Lighting Hopkins- Play with your Poodle
BB King - Why I sing the Blues
Mississippi John Hurt- Nobody's Dirty Business
Jimi Hendrix- Red House
